Reduction-triggered Ligand Dissociation of Trinuclear Complex Bearing Three Kinds of Metal-ligand Units
A heterometallic trinuclear complex with three metal-metal bonds, which is constituted of three kinds of metal-ligand units bridged by two sulfido ligands, reacts with a 2-electron donor to afford an adduct accompanied with elongation of the metalmetal bonds. Cyclic voltammograms of the complexes showed that the adduct releases the 2-electron donor after electrochemical 1-electron reduction.
